Do it again!

I saw this great quote today:
"Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged.  They always says, “Do it again!” and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead.  
For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. 
But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony.  It is possible that God says every morning, “Do it again!” to the sun, and every evening, “Do it again!” to the moon. 
It may not be automatic necessity that makes all the daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them.  
It may be that He has an eternal appetite for infancy...
for we have sinned and grown old 
and our father is younger than we. "

GK Chesterton
Let me not grow tired of "doing it again!"for the kids!
